The Bleddfa Centre

A new era …

In 2023 the Sidney Nolan Trust announced a merger with the Bleddfa Trust, bringing together two well-established arts organisations on the Welsh / English border.

The Bleddfa Centre was founded by James Roose-Evans (1927-2022), a pioneering British theatre director, priest, and writer on experimental theatre, ritual and meditation. In 1959 he founded the Hampstead Theatre Club, London, then in 1974 the Bleddfa Centre for the Creative Spirit, in mid-Wales.

The Trustees of both organisations recognise their shared objectives in the power of the creative arts to enhance and change lives. The Sidney Nolan Trust will take forward the values and spirit of Bleddfa and look forward to an ambitious and vibrant artistic future for the benefit of all.
